A tribute to Çlive
Of all the open-heàrted contributors over the many years this blog has been in operation there has been onè man who has maintained a dignified and learned presence .. except for his blasted puns, otherwise the old lad would be lionised.
So what can I say, Clive, apart from thanks, you kept the numbers up old son.
Pete.

The Somerton Man .. 
Well, thanks for the tribute Pete, but, I’m just one of the many who have tried to contribute. I thing that annoys(?) me is, I wish I had known Paul Lawson, for a good few years, I still think he knew more than he admitted, well to me anyway!

He rang me once, wanted to talk about the case. And like you and me, almost, whatever he wished to say, he took it to his grave unsaid.

That’s the impression I got from Paul every time I visited him. Despite his age and physical frailty, his brain was as sharp as a man years younger. He chose his words carefully, very carefully, as I remember. Sometimes I got the impression he was about to say something, one time especially, when I showed him his diary entry about the ‘original body’. He looked at the signature at the bottom of the page, didn’t say anything but, I noticed when he read the entry about the ‘original body’ he suddenly shook his head as if to say I know nothing about this, interesting?

Both you and I don’t know of any reason why the police were looking over his shoulder for the entire time it took him to finish the bust, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t one.
